Coaching at Syntient

Coaching is collaboration between two or more people for the purpose of building skills or transferring knowledge. It is the coach’s role to assess the skills of the person being coached and then to provoke that persons development in the targeted areas. The person being coached is responsible for doing the work, physically, mentally and emotionally, to gain the desired new skills. The growth occurs through the mindfulness of the people involved.

The Art of Coaching consists of:

Reflection – learning new lessons, looking at old situations from a different point of view, and seeking insights to the dynamics of personal interactions
